Very nice property! It was perfect for our party of eight. We had all of our meals in the house due to a well stocked kitchen and plenty of stores nearby. Beds were all very comfortable. There were lots of extra blankets, plenty of beach towels and bath towels. We sat around a bonfire out back and made s’mores until tummies were full. We made so many fond memories with our daughter and our five grandchildren!
